Nice set up!

I had the same things in my car, you will love the seats. I hated my *** when I put them back in before trading it in!

thanks...I figured a nice upgrade after three years of sliding around and burning skin off the outside of my left knee.

Have a happy.

May I ask why you left the rear seats in once the roll bar was installed?

No reason exactly. Most of the people I track with who have added seats and
stuff have the backseats in.

Not a big difference in weight I guess and I just think it looks a little better.

OK. Was wondering if there was some other use for keeping them back there. I think they are supposedly pretty heavy.

BTW...looks good!

Its preventive maintenance for the engine. It helps to ensure that the engine does not starve for oil during tracking when going thru corners.

I think the rear seats are about 25#'s

Thanks...I like the mods...after three years of tracking it was time.

I was having trouble going to throttle in some turns due to the shifting of my body. This will help and I feel safer now.

i dont want to hijack, but just a FYI...did you get only the pan? from LN site:

"The X51 oil pan in our opinion (and likewise the opinion of many others) is useless without the rest of the X51 package, which added an extra scavenge pump in the head and external oil return line right back to the sump. The addition of the extra scavenging in the head seems to be the fix for the problem with revised baffling and/or a deep sump kit."

i know that some say "beware of drinking the LNE kool-aid" but it is something to keep in mind. the pan is not the only problem with our cars, it's also the pick up in the head (and need for an extra return line etc).

I discussed that. For the DE's I do this is sufficient IMO and the opinion of people I trust with my car.

If I was racing it would be a different set-up.

looks good man, should help with control and safty on track very much. I would loose the rear seats to drop as much weight as possible. Best of luck with it. harness looks great on black seats, goes well with red paint.
